[Rails-devel] New configuration system

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

I have rewritten the Configuration system for rails.

I intend to release 1.7.0 today, so it would be great to get some 
feedback soon if the OS specific storage solution works without hassles 
for Windows and Mac

Stefan

Major changes:

There are two major changes for users:

* The configuration settings are stored in OS specific directories:

A) Unix-Systems (except Mac):
~/.rails (with ~ equals content of system property user.home)

B) Mac OS-Systems: ~/Library/Preferences/net.sourceforge.rails
(again with ~ equals system property user.home)

C) Windows-System:
First it tries to locate the common application data folder (something
like C:\\Documents and Settings\\username\\Application Data). There it
uses the subfolder rails.
This is done using System.getEnv("APPDATA").

If this fails the user directory is found using
System.getEnv("USERPROFILE"), as user.home has a known unfixed bug on
Windows system (see http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=4787931

* The profile system is (hopefully) easier to use now:

There are predefined profiles: pbem equal to the previous default) and 
prettyUI and ORDocking.

If a user changes the settings and wants to apply them, the new profile 
will be stored inside the configuration folder and will be available for 
selection (in addition to the predefined) at the next start.

* Internally it was rewritten from scratch and the profiles are a tree 
which has the root profile at the top. All profiles below only store the 
delta to its parent.

User profiles will always link to a predefined profile as a parent to 
avoid users building deep structures.

Stefan,
Is there an option to import my current configuration, or can I move it
manually, or must I completely recreate it?

Re: [Rails-devel] New configuration system

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Erik:
you should first save a new config file. This creates the rails directory in your application data folder.
Then copy your existing file there and change the filename extension to .rails_profile
This should work. If it does not you can add profile.parent = root as an additional line inside your file.
Hope that works.
Stefan

Re: [Rails-devel] New configuration system

[Erik V. <eri...@xs...>]

Stefan,

 

That doesn’t work yet.  

 

First, ‘pbem’ is always preselected in the startup screen.  How can I make it default to my profile?

 

Second, when I select ‘My’, I’m getting an exception:

 

DEBUG: Trying to locate InputStream: data/Properties.xml

DEBUG: Opened config xml, filename = Properties.xml

INFO : Loading properties from file data/profiles/LIST_OF_PROFILES

INFO : Loading properties from file C:\Users\Erik\AppData\Roaming\rails\My.rails_profile

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException

      at rails.common.ConfigProfile.setParent(ConfigProfile.java:147)

      at rails.common.ConfigProfile.setParent(ConfigProfile.java:152)

      at rails.common.ConfigProfile.load(ConfigProfile.java:215)

      at rails.common.ConfigManager.changeProfile(ConfigManager.java:218)

etc.

 

The profile has the profile.parent=root line. 

It seems I have to do something in data/profile as well.

 

Erik.

Re: [Rails-devel] New configuration system + new release is delayed

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Erik:
sorry as stated below I was not sure if you should add
profile.parent=root inside your profile, as I did send the mail
from my phone.

It turns out that you should NOT add that line (or remove it now).

I forgot to add the cli option, it is available now (simply add 
-Dprofile=MY as argument). Your profile starts on my system now it only 
looks weird because of the usual encoding issues for the money symbol.

ALL:
I am currently on vacation and I had hoped for WLAN here, but no luck.
How can someone create an apartment park in 2008 and forget to add
that feature :-(
So I am not able to upload the new release until my return next week.
Unless someone else wants to volunteer, there is another release delay.
But maybe it allows to fix some remaining issues.
Stefan

[Rails-devel] Further updates to Rails configuration

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Further updates to the config mechanism:

* I have added the mechanism to store config information inside of 
subfolders inside the rails configuration directory:

Use
SystemOS.get().getConfigurationFolder(String sub, boolean create)

This returns a file object that points to the subfolder.
If create is set to true, it is created if it does not exist before.
It it does not exist or fails due to other reasons it returns null.

I used that to store all user profiles in a subfolder called profiles.

Erik: Please copy your "my" profile into that subfolder!

* Profiles are now sorted in the selection box first on type (predefined 
first followed by user) and second by name.

* A recent mechanism was added, that is essentially a property file that 
is loaded at the start of rails automatically and that gets saved
as soon as the properties object gets changed.

Use
Config.getRecent(String key)
to retrieve a value

and
Config.storeRecent(String key, String value)
to store a value, which triggers the storage.

The file that is saved is rails.recent in the top rails configuration 
folder.

This is used to keep the profile selection persistent.
However it can still be overwritten by a cli setting (-Dprofile=...)

Stefan

Re: [Rails-devel] Further updates to Rails configuration

[Erik V. <eri...@xs...>]

As it was not clear to me how to create 'profiles' from within Rails, I have
done it manually.
I hope you are going to provide complete migration instructions once this
new configuration structure gets released!\

Erik.

Re: [Rails-devel] Further updates to Rails configuration

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Erik:
what do you mean manually? Editing files?
Creating new profiles is now automatically done each time someone
uses the saveas.. button. This only requires choosing a new profile name 
and it gets automatically available.
But maybe it is too magic now?

Still migration instructions will be included as they are very simple:
Change extension and copy it into the profiles subfolder of the 
application folder.

However I doubt that there have been many (non-eclipse and/or git) users 
of the previous setup(s) for configurations as that required migration 
every time a new version was installed, without any instructions for 
that provided.

Stefan,

After I changed a property item, I was again caught by the exception that prevented me to run Rails:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException
      at rails.common.ConfigProfile.setParent(ConfigProfile.java:147)
      at rails.common.ConfigProfile.setParent(ConfigProfile.java:152)
      at rails.common.ConfigProfile.load(ConfigProfile.java:215)
      at rails.common.ConfigManager.changeProfile(ConfigManager.java:218)
etc.

(I first clicked Apply and then Save/Apply).

As I still don't know what is causing this problem, I changed the code to catch it, by allowing the ConfigProfile.setParent() parent argument to be null.
Now at least I can do some work again!

Erik.

Erik:
have you changed the property with a text-editor or have you used the 
UI? Could you please send the incriminating property file, but most 
likely it is still the one you have created/manipulated outside the UI.

I will fix this (and the other remaining bug) as soon as I return.

Re: [Rails-devel] New configuration system

Stefan,

I changed it through the UI (I guess that's my mistake...)
The new version was correctly saved in profiles, and looks OK to me.  It
works after I applied my fix.  It's a mystery to me why that 'parent' is
null.
(I pressed Save/Apply without changing the name, I think I just closed that
popup at that point.)

All I changed was setting the splash screen to "no", because it got in the
way while debugging.  New property file attached. 

Erik.
